Chapter 1339 1347 [Give Miss Yoko back to me! ]
Vodka: "..." Of course, the most important thing is that Nachi Shingo is too suspicious. From beginning to end, almost all the evidence clearly points to him. And according to Uzo's habit of reversing, the real murderer may be someone else!
Looking at the coat and hat of the deceased thrown nearby, Vodka found that he actually had an idea, but he was not quite sure.
Just as I was thinking, a voice floated over: "Go on, your idea is correct."
"!"
Vodka turned his head quickly and saw Jiang Xia - this terrible playwright seemed to have guessed his thoughts from the change in his gaze.
Vodka listened to his words of encouragement and couldn't help muttering in his heart: When Wuzo doesn't reveal his true nature, he really looks like a good senior, much easier to talk to than the eldest brother... Wait, stop! We must always remember that Wuzo relies on this seemingly righteous appearance to trap one unlucky person after another. The friendlier he looks, the more dangerous he is!
Vodka touched the goose bumps on his arms and moved away from Jiang Xia.
Then he turned to look at Kinoshita Yoko who was nearby, suppressed his excitement and asked, "Ms. Yoko, I heard you just said that when you went out shopping, you once encountered the deceased at the door?"
When Yoko Kinoshita saw the serious look of this "Jiang Xia little brother", she couldn't help but sigh that Jiang Xia had a good eye for recruiting little brothers. Regardless of his ability, at least this guy's attitude was very serious.
She nodded. “Yes.”
Facing the lovely idol Kinoshita Yoko, Vodka felt much better than when he was next to Jiang Xia just now, and his thoughts became more active. He asked seriously like a serious detective: "Did you see his face when you met him?"
"Ah?" Kinoshita Yoko was startled, and after a careful recollection, she hesitated and said, "This... I didn't notice. His room was right at the end of the corridor, next to the stairs. So after he came out of the room, he went straight downstairs. He stayed there for a very short time, and we didn't talk."
After hearing this, Vodka became more confident and nodded calmly:
"The actual time of death of the deceased may be earlier than you think.
"After the murder, the murderer took off the victim's watch, put it on and returned to the hotel. Then he sneaked into his room, found the victim's coat and hat, put them on, pretending that he was still alive, and appeared in front of you."
He said in a deep voice: "In other words, the person you met in the corridor was not the deceased, but the murderer who had just killed someone."
"?!" Yoko Kinoshita shuddered silently when she remembered how she had passed by the real murderer without knowing it, and felt like she was listening to a ghost story.
But she looked at Jiang Xia, then at the little girl who had just slapped the shrine door bolt, and gradually felt relieved.
Yoko Kinoshita secretly moved to the side of Jiang Xia and Toyama Kazuha, stood between them secretly, and was surrounded by a sense of security again.
Only then did he have the energy to understand Vodka's reasoning, and said to him from a distance: "So that's how it is."
Vodka: “……?”
…It was clearly his painstaking deduction, why did Miss Yoko move towards Usa? !
…When you look at Jiang Xia, please keep your eyes open, Ms. Yoko!!
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia suddenly looked at him thoughtfully.
Then he put his hand on Kinoshita Yoko's shoulder, and his voice was softer than ever, like the whisper of a lover: "Don't worry, we are all here, and we won't let the murderer touch you."
Kinoshita Yoko only felt a sense of righteousness coming from his palm. She looked at this reliable young man who had helped her throw two stalkers like sacks, and nodded with emotion: "Yeah!"
“…”
The night was dark, and Vodka's face suddenly twisted, as if he had just swallowed the stone lion next to him.
Fortunately, he was facing away from the searchlight, and his sunglasses took up half of his face, so no one noticed his abnormality for the time being.
Others are still immersed in the information provided by Vodka, the "detective assistant".
Inspector Otaki stroked his chin and tried to piece together the situation: "In other words, the process of this murder was roughly like this - the murderer first killed the deceased here, and then returned to the hotel disguised as the deceased.
"After you thought that the deceased was still alive at 7:10, he returned to the scene, threw his camouflage watch, hat and clothes here, and wrote "handsome guy" on the ground to pin the blame on Mr. Nachi.
"After that, Mr. Nachi arrived at the scene and found that the person he had an appointment with was dead. So in panic, he changed the 'handsome guy' on the ground into a 'stone lion', trying to put the blame on the assistant who lived in the shrine?"
Vodka came back to his senses and nodded silently: That's right, this kind of complicated situation with twists and turns is more like the plot that Uzo likes to see.
As Suzuki Sonoko listened, she felt as if her eyes had turned into mosquito coils: "...How troublesome."
The detectives around Mao Lilan were even more concentrated. After being influenced for a long time, she actually followed the train of thought and immediately had a question: "But why did the real murderer write down the death message of 'handsome guy'? - Mr. Nachi has a name, wouldn't it be more accurate to write down the spelling of his name? This way it is easy to hurt someone by mistake."
Vodka was not in a very good mood. He glanced at Nachi Shingo coldly and said, "Who knows what that person is thinking? Maybe the murderer is his fan."
...Of course, it is more likely that Wu Zuo deliberately designed it this way to mislead him into thinking that Wu Zuo was exposed, observe his reaction, and wait for an opportunity to take revenge. Tsk, this sting enforcement bastard.
Inspector Otaki now had a new respect for him. Hearing this casual remark, he actually took it seriously: "So, the murderer is actually a fan?"
He glanced at the suspicious people around him and found that most of them were crew members.
The only person who meets the criteria of being a "fan" and looks like someone who would be a fan of Shingo Nachi is...
"Huh?" Mao Lilan suddenly met his gaze. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses, "It's not me!"
"Of course it's not you." Jiang Xia pulled the police's mind back on track, "I wrote 'handsome guy' not to express my love for Mr. Nachi, but because under the circumstances at the time, the real murderer could only change the bloody word to 'handsome guy'."
"Changed to?" Several people keenly noticed the key point in his words. After a moment of surprise, they gradually understood what he meant and asked in surprise, "The bloody words have been changed more than once?!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Don't you think that the word 'ニマイメ', which refers to handsome guys, has a particularly crowded 'イ'? If you remove it and the word before it, the bloody word becomes 'マメ' - '豆'."
